IL-300 Keyence CMOS Laser Sensor Head 160-450 mm IL Series

Product Overview

Keyence IL-300 is a long-range CMOS laser displacement sensor head. Moreover, it belongs to the IL series. This sensor uses triangulation and reflective measurement. Therefore, it delivers stable results from 160 mm to 450 mm. In addition, the reference distance is 300 mm. Furthermore, it works with a red semiconductor laser at 655 nm. The laser output is 560 µW. Also, it is a Class 2 laser product. Additionally, the spot diameter is about ø0.5 mm at standard distance. Linearity is ±0.25 % of F.S. from 160 to 440 mm. Moreover, repeatability is 30 µm with a standard white diffuse target at 2 ms sampling. You can select sampling rates of 0.33 / 1 / 2 / 5 ms. However, the sensor head has no built-in ports or protocols. Consequently, it connects to an IL series amplifier unit for power and communication. The housing is IP67 rated. It weighs about 135 g. In addition, it operates from -10 to +50 °C without condensation or freezing. Humidity range is 35 to 85 % RH with no condensation. Meanwhile, this product is active and in official production as of September 2026.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

• First, mount the IL-300 on a stable bracket. Also, keep the reference distance at 300 mm.
• Then align the laser spot perpendicular to the target surface. Moreover, use the visible red beam for guidance.
• After that, connect the sensor head to a compatible IL series amplifier unit. Consequently, the amplifier supplies power and signal conditioning.
• Also, keep the sensor within 160 to 450 mm range. Furthermore, avoid reflective or transparent targets if possible.
• Moreover, do not exceed -10 to +50 °C operating temperature. Therefore, prevent condensation and freezing.
• Furthermore, maintain humidity between 35 and 85 % RH. Also, no condensation is allowed.
• Finally, use the IP67 rating for protection against dust and water. However, do not submerge the sensor beyond its rating.

Debugging and Maintenance

• First, check the spot size and alignment. Moreover, a ø0.5 mm spot gives the best repeatability.
• Then select a slower sampling rate for higher stability. Also, use 2 ms or 5 ms for noisy targets.
• After that, verify linearity with a known gauge. Therefore, the tolerance is ±0.25 % of F.S. from 160 to 440 mm.
• Also, clean the lens with a soft cloth and mild solvent. However, do not scratch the optical window.
• Moreover, check the amplifier unit for error codes. Consequently, the sensor head has no built-in diagnostics.
• Furthermore, replace the sensor if repeatability drifts beyond 30 µm after cleaning and re-alignment.

Compatibility Notes

• This sensor works only with IL series amplifier units. Therefore, no direct PC or PLC connection is possible.
• It has no built-in communication ports. Also, no protocols. Furthermore, no expansion slots.
• Power comes from the amplifier. Consequently, do not apply external voltage directly to the sensor head.
• It is compatible with standard white diffuse targets. However, other surfaces may change performance.
